Technical Specifications

Model Configuration Explanation

The 330103-00-12-10-02-05 ordering code provides specific details for integration:

• 330103: 3300 XL 8 mm Proximity Probe.

• 00: Unthreaded length (0 mm).

• 12: Overall case length (120 mm).

• 10: Total length (1.0 meter).

• 02: Connector type (Miniature Coaxial).

• 05: Agency approval option (Includes hazardous area certifications).

Typical Applications

This sensor is widely used in heavy industrial sectors to monitor critical rotating equipment:

• Gas and Steam Turbines: Essential for measuring shaft radial motion to detect imbalance or misalignment.

• Centrifugal Compressors: Provides early warning signs of rotor contact or instability.

• Large Motors and Pumps: Ensures vibration levels remain within safe operational limits.

• Hydroelectric Generators: Monitors shaft position in low-speed, high-torque environments.

System Compatibility

The 330103-00-12-10-02-05 is fully integrated with the 3300 XL Proximitor Sensor and corresponding extension cables. It is designed to work seamlessly with Bently Nevada’s 3500 Monitoring System. Whether you are maintaining a legacy 3300 rack or commissioning a new 3500 system, this probe provides the consistent output voltage (200 mV/mil) required for accurate diagnostics.

Installation Guidelines

1. Surface Inspection: Ensure the mounting bracket is rigid and the target surface is smooth to prevent measurement noise.

2. Gap Setting: Utilize a precision gap-setting tool to adjust the probe to the midpoint of its linear range (typically 1.27 mm or 50 mils from the shaft).

3. Torque Management: Apply the correct torque to the jam nuts to ensure the probe remains locked in place despite ambient mechanical vibration.

4. Cabling: Use dedicated conduits for the coaxial cable to protect against physical damage and electrical crosstalk.

5. Grounding: Ensure the entire transducer system is properly grounded to the monitor common to maximize signal-to-noise ratio.
